How would you feel if your boyfriend/husband told you he didn't want children because he didn't want you to go through pregnancy?

[Anonymous]

Would appreciate it

Would think less of him

Would want to leave him

Would agree with him

[curlyfirecracker]

I'd appreciate it, but also feel like I was missing something. As a mom of 4 and expecting, my first two were pretty typical, natural deliveries (I say this loosely). Third was an emergency c-section followed by my 4th being a c-section based on his size for a small person as me (5'2 124 lbs. Baby was 9.9oz, 21in at birth!!) And my body refused to labor. Expecting now and will have to have a c-section. Not ideal, very painful either birth, however, I am so thankful for my children and happier as a mother than I have ever been. I would not want to miss out on this the rest of my life to skip a few moments of pain in comparison.

I appresatie it, but if I was able to give birth wourld have still want to do it regardless
Shuld say depends on reasoning also, I mean if its for me, not so much if its becouse he fears I lose my looks or something from it, that get me to leave them on the spot

[kylee2437]

Hmmm I think this is deep seeded and I would want to know his reasoning as to why he didn’t want me to go through it. I typically wouldn’t date someone that doesn’t want kids eventually

[Apple1996]

I'd be mad since I love being pregnant

[FictionalCharacter]

That wouldn’t happen during long term relationship. I’m upfront and tell whoever that is interested in me, that I’m looking for something serious and to start a family. If they’re not up for it, fine. These are my standards that should not be wasted.

[Rocambole]

That depends on the reason, is it because he doesn't want kids? Because he thinks I would become uglier after pregnant? If I don't have context I would at least find it very strange and concerning.

[Asker]

If he said that he didn't want you to have to go through pain and discomfort

[Rocambole]

That sounds like bullshit excuse, sorry. If the woman is okay with being pregnant, it would be strange for the guy to deny it for that reason.

[SamA_nold]

I would agree with him, in part because I don’t want kids and I don’t want to experience pregnancy. If it came down to where we agreed on having kids, We’d adopt.

[petitedollbabee]

I’d be happy, I’m not pushing a little human out my hoo-ha…. i don’t want children anyway but if I were to have any it wouldn’t be pushed out my own body.

[mermaidcancermoon]

Since I want children (and specifically chose a lover who also wanted kids). This "revelation" would make me want to breakup with him.

[GiGii_]

I would wanna talk more about it, might postpone planning for a kid. But at the end of the day, it's my body that's gonna go through the pregnancy, so if I feel like pregnancy is something I want to go through, that will happen sooner or later.

[IveGotNoName]

I would know it was coming from a good place, but I would find it condescending for him to think, I wouldn't be capable of expressing if I didn't want to go through pregnancy.
It's not like I would go through with it if I didn't want it.

[CateM]

I'm terrified of childbirth. It's fine is I'm helping deliver the baby, but the thought of bearing a child myself, especially if an episiotomy is involved, freaks me out

[dustybiker]

Why? If it’s purely caring that’s really thoughtful. If it because it might change the woman's body it’s not.

[Tina19]

If he doesn't want me to go through the physical pain of the whole process k would feel he is a caring partner plus we can always adopt

[Rania05]

It's a dream come true, I'd appreciate and agree with him without a second of hesitation

[Sour-rose]

Well I would appreicate it. Due to I hate... HATE kids... so we both win.

[Sukaaa]

would tell him i am ok with it if i am and try to find out the true motive behind his words

[HorggleThorp]

Seeing that I REALLY don’t want children, I would definitely appreciate it.

[musicbrain5]

That’s a weird way to say you don’t want kids. I would leave him.

[LazerBean]

Wouldn't have even made it to the boyfriend stage with in.

[EmmaMary]

He would never be my boyfriend, let alone husband.

[Little_Bumblebee]

I would want more information and to discuss it in detail and want him to elaborate.

[Nikki1989]

He better have a good reason for feeling that way.

[Anonymous]

I'd tell him to shut up, take off his clothes, take off my clothes, fuck me, and get me pregnant.

[LovingJo]

It would be a very long conversation and would need to talk about other options.

[anon1903]

He'd have a bigger spot in my heart for sure

[anon1903]

Because that's exactly how I feel

[ZenJen444]

I would think something was mentally wrong with him

[OdliDPrincess]

I want children and if he doesn't so this is not my person

[Darine123]

Hm, I would be pissed, cuz that’s my dream

[meetkitty123]

Dump him and move on

Seems kinda patronizing. I can handle pregnancy.
